Two Hands Waterfall Block Shiraz 2019 750ml
The Wine Advocate | RP 93
Published: Aug 31, 2021
One of the bigger, more powerful of the Block wines this vintage, the 2019 Waterfall Block Waterfall Gully Road Burnside Shiraz is a full-bodied, velvety, well-behaved beast of a wine. Swirls of mixed berries combine with mocha and dark chocolate, finishing with layers of flavor and texture. While its elevated alcohol (it's listed at 14.9% alcohol) may mean it's not quite as long-lived as some of the other 2019 bottlings, it should still go 10 years easily.
Drink Date: 2021 - 2030

Attractive aromas of mulberries, pomegranate, blood oranges and red plums here. Some wet stones, too. The palate tastes of poached plums and mulberries with a bright, fleshy mid-section that?s framed in a silky wrap of fine tannin. Drink or hold.
Winemaker
A complexing steep site that needs to be seen to be believed: It has many short steep rows that are protected from the early morning light from the highest point of the Mount Lofty Ranges behind and again by the searing late day sun from a steep hillside to the north. This is an amazing micro climate that allows the low-yielding vines to ripen at their leisure with a canopy that keeps moving along with minimal stress.
Soil: Shallow red clays over deep deposits of slate, shale and limestone
Aspect :Western
Row orientation East to West
Vine age: 26 years old
Elevation:177m
Sub district: Burnside,Adelaide
